GRASS SEED FBICES TUMBLE. 



During the last six weeks ])rices for 

 red and sweet clover and alfalfa seed 

 have continued to tumble, but alsike 

 clover prices have held their own and 

 have even shown a gain in some sec- 

 tions, according to information obtained 

 by the bureau of markets of the United 

 States Department of Agriculture. 

 Seedsmen are in no hurry to buy and 

 it still is diflQcult for them to secure 

 loans from banks for purchasing seed. 

 Several seedsmen have failed and others 

 have tottered largely because of the un- 

 precedented decline in jirices of field 

 seeds, particularly clover and alfalfa. 



The marked drop in seed values may 

 be accounted for in a large measure by 

 the general price declines being ex- 

 perienced by other ccniurifidities. Ex- 

 ports and imports of these seeds since 

 July 1 have been of little signifieaiice. 

 There is no world shortage of red clover 

 seed nor curtailed sujiiily of alsike 

 clover seed to duoy up tlic market, as 

 there was two years ago. On the con- 

 trary, fairly large carryovers of red 

 cliiver, sweet clover and alfalfa seed, 

 resulting from unusually large iniimrts 

 during the late winter iiioiillis of last 

 year and the early spring niontlis of this 

 year, have had a depressing effect upon 

 the market. Furthermore, the larger 

 domestic production of these crops this 

 year than last year has tended to make 

 buyers cautious. 



Growers have been reluctant to dis- 

 pose of their seed at such heavy dis- 

 counts below prices received last year 

 nnd consequently the seed movement 

 from their hands has been much below 

 normal. It is thought that many of 

 them will continue to hold their seeds 

 and that they themselves will sow larger 

 acreages next spring and summer rather
